Jail time/false claims

Can someone add some info about his falsely claiming to have won an award from Rolling Stone for Investigative Journalism? I also think something about his jail time should be added:

'Ian is no stranger to writing questionable and unsubstantiated material, and has been doing so since the 1980s when he was still a student reporter. In 1984, an athletic director at his college filed a $100,000 libel suit against him and another writer for making multiple allegations of improper conduct within the university's athletic department. Ian was later criminally charged with providing false testimony and lying under oath in the civil case after three different sources denied providing him with any of the information he claimed they had. Ian fled Canada to avoid criminal prosecution and remained in Great Britain for 2.5 years before returning to face the court. In 1990, the judge in the case said he was forced to close it due to a lack of corroborating evidence presented by the prosecution, although Ian did serve time in jail for fleeing the country.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.164.240 (talk) 15:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Citations

So what's the deal, Cirt? Are you the final authority on how this article should be cited? Is every citation in the article, on some chosen date, set in freaking stone, whether redundant or not? WillOakland (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

If you are going to take this incivil tone, it will be difficult to engage in constructive positive and polite dialogue. Cirt (talk) 00:20, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I want to know what kind of rule you think you're enforcing. WillOakland (talk) 00:22, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you would redact the above inappropriate comment. Cirt (talk) 00:29, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Not a chance. I'd appreciate it if you'd answer my questions. WillOakland (talk) 00:30, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

See my first response in this subsection. Cirt (talk) 00:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
